Re: SD card formatting

bribe36 - another easy solution for a 'false' data system on a new sdcard without any tool is as follows: While the Zumo XT is turned off(!)... Take the card out of the Zumo XT Turn on the Zumo XT and wait until it is fired up completely, showing the main screen Now put the sdcard again in the Zumo...

Re: Start point, how far to avoid RUT?

I do not know what "RUT" stands for but, as afar as I am concerned, the most significant failing in all of Garmin's products after the 550 was the removal of the the option to be guided to the start of a route or for the device to monitor ones progress and start guidance when the route wa...

Re: Casting an XT's screen

Hmmm - the Zumo XT doesn't deliver a video-out signal, so i fear there's no chance for you to show the Zumo XTs screen directly! I think the 'easiest' way would be to take screenshots of all necessary screens on the Zumo XT directly and then copy them from the Zumo XT to your laptop to show them on ...

Re: My XT is freezing and acting up... Any clues?

As i said - my 5 cents to this are, that that after the functional tests in the factory they are NOT shutting down the unit completely! I'm a 'first hour' user of the Zumo XT and in the first one-and-a-half years you didn't hear such a thing (dead batteries) at all - starting from the second year of...

Re: My XT is freezing and acting up... Any clues?

Ah, ok! Did misunderstood that, sorry... That really doesn't sound good - one last try: Normally, if you do a really long (30 sek.) press on the Power button, the unit performs a reset, you can try this while it is connected to a power source! Maybe this could give a 'startup help'... Sadly if that ...

Re: My XT is freezing and acting up... Any clues?

Have you read my post above?

If the battery is really empty, the only way to get it back to life is in the motorcycle mount, connected to a bike or car battery - try it!

Re: My XT is freezing and acting up... Any clues?

For me it sounds like a dead (empty) battery - when you have access to a motorcycle or a car battery, i would test it with the original motorcycle-mount of the Zumo XT! Often this works! If it boots up, go into settings/navigation and disable gps (this activates gps simulation and saves battery!) - ...

Re: Zumo xt no speed limit info

Molsal Hmmm - why have you changed the region of the City Navigator NTU maps? Normally, all of Europe is installed automatically and the Zumo XT has plenty of memory for it, so no need of cutting down the maps - maybe there was an error while doing this and this is the reason why the speed limits a...

Re: Garmin Explore no longer supports Zumo XT

Officially the Garmin Explore app never(!) was compatible with the Zumo XT! The Zumo XT has build in a small/rough version of Garmin Explore into it's firmware and communication was done only by the Garmin Drive app and also communication was only done with the Garmin Explore cloud - there was never...

Re: XT coming next week

@jfheath - be careful with the term 'turned off', this could be misleading for new users! When you want to charge the unit from a wall charger, it should be in standby - not turned off!
